Words of Hope to Brett Butler

I just read about Brett Butler and his cancer. I have the same type of cancer in my right tonsil and base of my tongue. April 4, 1995 was the date of my surgery, followed by a very aggressive treatment of radiation and chemotherapy. The last radiation was Sept. 1, 1995. All examinations by my doctor since that time have been favorable and the cancer is in complete remission.

Please forward this to Mr. Butler. There do not appear to be many cases of this type of cancer in “younger” people, and I just want him to know that after the surgery and treatments that life is very good and fulfilling.
